In 3 days ~10%
Ozognathus cornutus is a species of beetle in the family Ptinidae. It is native to North America but has spread elsewhere, including Europe, North Africa, New Zealand, and South America. This beetle is saproxylophagous, meaning that it feeds on dead wood, including galls and the feces of other wood-eating insects. They are also known to feed on dried fruits and vegetables. Adult Ozognathus cornutus are dark brown or black and 1.5-2.8 mm in length. They lay their eggs in galls induced by other species of insects. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acorn Anobiid is recorded against all the insects logged in San Diego (7 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
